Review Summary

The reviews highlight that this masking tape is particularly effective for creating curves in intricate painting tasks on various model types, with many users appreciating its ease of use, thinness, and ability to prevent bleed-through. However, some users noted challenges, such as the tape being fiddly to apply, lifting on less tight curves leading to bleed-through, and the necessity to remove it before the paint dries to avoid bonding issues. Overall, opinions vary on its essentiality and value for the price.

This is Some Great Tape!

By: embassy00

I had bought this 5mm tape (and the 2mm) some time ago and just happened to come across as I was to do a two-tone on a 57 Ford. There are some tricky curves on that body and this tape worked perfect. It stuck great and had no bleed-through at all when I removed it. It is very thin and you just have to stretch it slightly to get curves, so it is easy to use. Try it and you will like it!

5mm. masking tape FOR curves

By: rafterrat_2005 (Salisbury , N.C.)

This is a must have for modelers who wants to paint precise areas that require different colors that butt up together. I have used it on cars, tanks and ships (models). It's very easy to use and no clean up is great except the used tape. It's good with regular body tape too and not expensive. (it's worth it's weight in gold)
